Resolved: Atheists Are More Cat People Than Dog People

Having co-habited with many cats over the years, I've found them to be free-thinking and inquisitive, like atheists. Dogs seem to be more accepting, more willing to go along. I think this accounts for the fact that atheists tend to favor cats over dogs. (I'm not saying atheists hate dogs--just that we're better attuned to cats.) Comments?

I love being human. :D We didn't enslave dogs! The evolution of dogs was likely jump started by more of a symbiotic relationship, with particularly enterprising wolves becoming camp followers of humans.

Over my life, I have shifted from a dog preference to a cat preference.

However, I don't see any connection to how being an atheist influences my preference of pet. My guess is that the mixed responses in this thread would reflect the range of opinion from the general population fairly well.
